Thoughts: The Packers topped the Minnesota Vikings in an NFC Wild Card match up last week while San Francisco defeated the Arizona Cardinals to end their regular season. Honestly, this game could go either way but because the 49ers handed the Packers earlier this year, I’m going with Green Bay here. In short, I’d take Green Bay with the points as well as the under here.
